And also, a guy working on a revolver in one of the pages, so they tried to block themselves technologically, this explains why their technologies are totally illogical.

Re: Shingeki no Kyojin Chapter 55 Spoiler Discussion

I just read 55. So basically Erwin tells Pixie that his father knew about the true story of humanity, then they torture that guy who spits out everything he knows. Also Armin is going crazy and it's implied that there's a lot of political stuff incoming with Historia getting on the throne and her family being the true royalty.

So the MP pretty much destroyed almost every technological advances over the century made by the people inside the wall....Without them humankind would be most likely much more advanced in their efforts to explore the outside of the walls.

THat'd depend on what kind of chapter it is, I guesss. Is it a chapters that takes place "currently"? If it is, then I doubt we'll see Annie. However, if it's a "What were they doing during (insert specific time prior to them being revealed as the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan)"-kind of chapter, then we'll see Annie.

Anyway, it's certainly a chapter full of moral doubts all around. Armin & co are undergoing a bit of a moral dilema here - Armin does say "We're not really such good guys any longer", which I guess says a lot... And then there's Sannes who has apparently been killing people all his life to uphold the peace within the wall, but can only do so by clinging to the belief that the peace of the wall must be protected and that he has comrades who shares his will to do everything in their power to protect that as well... But part of that beleif of his is apparently shattered when his "comrade" not only easily spills everything he knows after losing only one nail, but also rejects Sannes determination as "that guy just doing whatever he wants" <_<.

So... Historia, the new queen? Long live the queen, I guess? ^_-. I wonder whether she'll like that idea though...

The way Eren keeps "failing" even though he's the MC, I wouldn't be surprised if Armin encounters some (possibly major) bump(s) along his rise - which might involve a his notion of "throwing humanity away for the sake of victory"...?

Re: Shingeki no Kyojin Chapter 55 Spoiler Discussion

I like this chapter. A lot of which is expected since a long time ago really, but the confirmation is more than satisfying. Only I wonder what the event could be that gave the Scouting Legion a firm standing ground within the society, something that the MP admits failing to suppress before it grew so big.

Does anybody remember if Annie were held captive specifically by the MP or the Scouting Legion? Or did it not say? I have a feeling she could be killed if she ever did find herself out of the crystal. Erwin suggests the higher-ups want Eren to themselves, simply said for their own safety. While Annie does display the (more or less confirmed to be the same) kind of power Eren has, they won't so readily trust and use her for their own cause, especially when they are unlikely to find leverage on Annie, as opposed to Eren.
